Menachem Mendel
Ussishkin

Prominent in Zionist circles in his ’teens and an acknowledged leader
before the first Zionist Congress was called by Dr. Theodor Herzl in 1897,
Menachim Mendel Ussishkin celebrated his 75th birthday this year still
the active head of the Jewish National Fund.

Ussishkin is a type rather rare in modern Jewry. An erect, domi-
nant figure, straight Roman nose, firm mouth, straight-cut beard, pierc-
ing eyes, he is a unique militant type among a people who have pro-
gressed in the arts of peace rather than war. He is the stern, uncompro-
mising warrior, fighting to the last ditch, never yielding, his courage
unquenchable. His voice is heavy, his language blunt, his gestures abrupt.
He does not seek to win his point by persuasive phrases, but by the
recital of relentless facts. He is calm and dispassionate. This is the
situation ... these the facts ... if the land belongs to Ishmael, then
the country is Ishmael’s in spite of any and every progress made by the
Jews. His voice beats out the cold, hard facts. But when he is through
he has carried conviction.

His life-long creed about the Jews and Palestine is expressed by him
in these words: “When the people of Israel will redeem the land of Israel,
then the land of Israel will redeem the people of Israel.”
